you're not really doing an apples to apples comparison. 30k warranty--what does that mean? is it a performance tire with softer rubber? is it a crap tire that's just not going to last? are you going into these places saying "i need tires for my nameless AWD sedan" or are you giving them any input on what you want?
They were not performance tires. I have been asking for mostly highway all seasons that will not try to execute me in the snow. It's a 2010 Taurus, and not the turbo version. I use it to drive from Thornton to englewood/centennial everyday (and i voice this over the phone). I will go out of my way to read reviews from several sources on a particular tire before i buy. The $850 30k tire got crap reviews after 10k miles or so, since i drive 25k or so a year, they weren't even considered.


In any case, wife and I got this taken care of. Thanks guys!
